'Those With Red Caps Are Red Alert For UP': PM Modi's Veiled Attack On SP At Gorakhpur Rally

PM Modi on Tuesday inaugurated projects worth Rs 9,600 crore during his Gorakhpur visit. The projects include a fertilizer plant, AIIMS Gorakhpur, and the ICMR- Regional Medical Research Centre.

New Delhi: Ahead of the UP assembly elections 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at Samajwadi Party (SP) saying that the "people wearing red caps are the supporters of terrorism," without naming them directly during his Gorakhpur visit.

"Today entire UP knows that the 'red caps' cared about 'red beacons' alone. They had nothing to do with your pain and issues. The 'red caps' want power - for scams & for filling their coffers, for illegal encroachments, for providing freedom to the mafia," PM Modi said during his Gorakhpur visit.

PM Modi on Tuesday inaugurated projects worth Rs 9,600 crore during his Gorakhpur visit. The projects include a fertilizer plant, AIIMS Gorakhpur, and the ICMR- Regional Medical Research Centre.

While speaking at inaugurating developmental projects in Gorakhpur, PM Modi said, "When there is a govt that worries about the oppressed and deprived sections, then it works hard and even yields results. The program in Gorakhpur today is proof of the fact that nothing is impossible for new India when it becomes determined."

Gorakhpur fertilizer plant, one of the three major projects, is being revived after 30 years. The plant is built at a cost of Rs 8,600 crores and will produce 12.7 LMT of urea which will benefit the farmers of eastern UP and boost the overall growth of the whole Purvanchal region.

Under the banner of the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojna, AIIMS Gorakhpur was also inaugurated today. The project is expected to provide healthcare services to people across the state of UP, Bihar and as far as Nepal.

"The beginning of a fertiliser plant & AIIMS in Gorakhpur is sending out several messages. When there is a double engine govt, then work takes place at double speed. When work is done with honest intentions, then even calamities can't become obstacles," PM Modi said.

The third major project in line is ICMR’s Regional Medical Research Centre which will open new horizons of research in communicable and non-communicable diseases and provide support for other medical institutes in the region.
